Symbolic imageDemocrats prepare Hegseth impeachment and probes as Trump concedes deportations went too far
Democratic leaders back impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and plan investigations of Trump's circle after winning Congress. Trump says his immigration approach was too tough.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said on ABC on Sunday, 8 November, that Hegseth "must go" and promised a "clear yes" on impeachment. Republican Thomas Massie plans to reintroduce articles of impeachment, and GOP sources told Axios that the Iran war drives their support. Removal would need two-thirds of the Senate, where Republicans hold 53 of 100 seats.
Probes of Trump's family
Robert Garcia, likely Oversight Committee chair in January, answered "Absolutely" on CNN when asked about investigating Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.
Trump turns to the Justice Department
Trump accused Democrats of intimidating Republicans and donors and told Attorney General Todd Blanche to investigate Democratic politicians. Blanche said any action depends on individual statements, since Congress may not threaten officials and companies.
Trump concedes on immigration
The Financial Times reports Trump said he was "too tough" on immigrants and floated an amnesty deal, conceding that deportations, the Iran war and economic messaging put voters off. He also called his Saturday offer of the press secretary job to UFC chief Dana White a joke.
